Discover the Secrets of Good health

Since we’re knee-deep in Lent, I thought I’d share a fasting-friendly Conway classic. Not Conway as in my family, but as in my Mom and Dad. My Mom has been making her tuna antipasto since before I knew what tuna was. Or antipasto.
You see, I have a hard time [...]

I have a long and tortuous history getting a good picture with Alton Brown. I’ve seen the man twice before, and each time it seems that something goes wrong. My first shot (at a book signing) was overexposed, my second (as an extra on Good Eats) was underexposed and blurry. This time [...]

Let me cut to the chase. I’m still bitter that the Food Network, in all their infinite wisdom, is canceling Molto Mario. Sure, he doesn’t make everyday food but I don’t care. I don’t care that he uses all kinds of meats I can’t find at the market (ask a supermarket [...]

Anyway, just wanted you all to know!

In auto racing, it’s one thing to pilot your machine to the edge for a few hundred miles. It’s quite another to do so for 24 continuous hours, to push the limits of mechanical and human endurance.
The situation is no different off the track. As fans in the infield, we spend the 24 [...]

As an active foodie and food blogger, I am well aware of the organic food movement sweeping the country. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but in general I don’t partake.
